I don't think that's true about French. It has some weird rules, the refusal to pronounce the last consonant in a word is especially galling (ok, pun was intended), but it's fairly consistent once you figure it out. English, though, is a slough. Enough practice, thorough practice, and you'll get through it. But it's rough going.
